I'm running the latest firmware, but not the beta. My original issues of "No Subscription" or "tuner's unavailable' are gone. Now my only standing problem is every now and then I'll get the WMC7 popup saying their is no signal, but it is recording... so I don't know what to do about that.

Yah it does act a little funky for me when there are no tuners, I think that was more of a wmc thing. It kind of started bugging out.

7MC will report a tuner is not available each time it tries to record a show before it starts (see recording defaults in settings). This is typically an issue when recording back to back shows with no extra tuners or when waking for a scheduled recording.

I have two HDHomeRun Prime 3CC units connected to mid-range 2011 Mac Mini (2.7 GHz i7 dual-core, AMD 6630M, 8GB RAM, 240GB OCZ Vertex3 MI, 750GB 7200RPM) running bootcamp. Everything is fairly good. I have issues with 29/59 frame rate bug with the original system using Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics. I did the suggested settings for AMD GPUs and its barely noticeable to me.

My only issue reliable return from Sleep (S3). I get no tuner available and eventual lose all tuners and have to restart. The systems are currently set to Max Performance with the PCIe set to Moderate Performance and the Minimum Processor to 5% and Drives Sleep at 20 minutes. I had to do something to keep the units cool and save power.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you said.

7MC will report it has no tuner before looking for a turner before it starts to record a show? I don't remember seeing a setting about this in the recording defaults.

As for recording back to back shows, I have 6 tuners, 1 usually in use, 1 recording, which leaves 4 available for the next back to back show.

I'm assuming these are all issues with 7MC and how it handles the tuners, but bah!

Are you on the latest firmware? My pc sleeps, and wakes up for recordings. I haven't ran into this problem you speak of yet. Tuners have always been available when resuming.

Missed recordings were problems with some versions of firmware. I had problem with the Oct 8 firmware (no issues with several versions before) but just upgraded to Oct 11 firmware and it appears to have resolved the missed recordings.

There can be problems though if setting the recording to a few minutes before/after the show. This causes problems if you fill all of the tuners. Is the nature of that type of function though, not a Prime specific thing.

I'll have to get the new beta Oct. 11th software tonight when I get home. I have had some issues with the Oct. 8th beta. I had the sleep issue (loosing tuners upon awaking requireing reboot). Things were good on the Oct. 3rd beta release.

I'm also having an issue that I'm not sure is HDRP related after installing both the Oct. 11beta software and Remote Potato server. I get the interminable WMC "blue spinning wheel" when I got to Tasks>TV and that machine won't shut down properly when I try to get out using Task manager.

Has anyone else had issues with Remote Potato affecting WMC7 and if so, know if its HDRP related?

Really like the Prime overall.

Yah this is an issue with WMC. Rather annoying I think even if the shows are on the same channel it will occupy two tuners while they overlap.

The software/firmware on this device is terrible, though getting better.

I have mine setup to be partitioned on a gigabit switch between it and my HTPC. I did the partition for other reasons (didn't want to buy a wireless adapter for 5 devices in my living room so I put a switch in and ran a cable) but it's a happy coincidence that I can avoid trying to connect the tuner to the HTPC over an unreliable wireless connection. I also have a very low recording demand (never more than 2 shows at a time and only about 8 recordings/week). Despite this simple setup, WMC fails to allocate a tuner about once a week -- usually when only one recording is scheduled for that day.

Hopefully they get these problems resolved as the concept of the product is great but so far the implementation is poor.

Hmmm, maybe it something with your network? I haven't ran into any issues like this yet. Been recording quite a bit. I have the htpc and prime hooked directly to my router. I also had to buy a new switch because I was out of ports on my router.

But I did not put the prime or the htpc behind the switch as to lower the possibility of a problem.

I've got a question for you HDHR Prime owners. I'm thinking of adding 6 tuners to my HTPC's. Is the only way to have all 6 available to the HTPCs TunerSalad? Does TunerSalad play nice with the HDHR primes?
